A place that lives up to its name

Just over 50 miles from Salt Lake City, Powder Mountain is a ski resort featuring almost 8,000 acres of skiable pistes. It's the largest resort in the US and receives more than 500 inches of snowfall annually. When you book a Powder Mountain vacation rental, you don't have to worry – the continual powder and groomed trails mean there's never a bad day at this beautiful Utah destination. Never skied or snowboarded before? Fear not. There are plenty of ski schools and instructors on hand who'll get your whizzing down the slopes in no time.

Clip on your ski boots

There's nothing quite like stepping off one of the ski lifts and looking out over the snowy mountain mountains that bask in sunshine. It's one of life's biggest pleasures. Preserving the Powder is the resort's tagline which they stick to it by limiting the number of lift passes to 1,500 per day, ensuring the lowest density of skiers among all of the mountains in the country. For even more adventure, join the Snowcat Powder Safari, an all-day guided ski odyssey which takes you along the chutes, forested pistes and open bowls in the park.

There's more to Powder Mountain than winter sports

If you're not looking to ski or snowboard, there's plenty to keep you occupied when you stay at a Powder Mountain vacation rental. Down at the New World Distillery, you can join one of the guided tours to learn about the production of their award-winning botanical gins and agave spirits. Alternatively, pop into the Simply Eden store where they produce natural handmade soaps and products from local goat's milk, or take the kids to Carver's Cove Petting Farm to get up close to cows, llamas and donkeys.

Ride the slopes between November and April

If you want to ski during the season, which runs between mid-November through to April, you better get in there quick and book up your Powder Mountain vacation rental. With consistent snow through the winter season, particularly in February and March, you don't have to worry about bad weather. Night time flurries blanket the mountains in fresh powder while the days are sunny and bright. In other words, the perfect winter playground conditions. Visit outside of school holidays for the quietest times, while –during the summer months – the snow melts away to reveal beautiful hiking and biking trails to discover.

Wild elk and bison herds

Utah is one of America's great wilderness destinations and the mountains teem with hardy wildlife species. Though much goes into hiding during the winter months, after the snow melts, wild elk and bison herds are commonly spotted. In season, hunters head out to look for game birds like wild turkeys and chukar grouse, while large mammals like black bears and mountain lions roam around the towering peaks. All in all, there's more wildlife in Utah than you can shake a pair of binoculars at, and many of these can be spotted from Powder Mountain vacation rentals.
